Title: Do these sprays work?
Post by: karenjet on November 19, 2007, 20:57:27 PM
I've got new sofas coming on Thursday, the cats have totally destroyed the ones I have with scratching. I've been looking for ways to stop them scratching these ones. They have a cat tree, another scratching post and a few small ones. I've seen the paws away strips but those aren't suitable for leather. Does anyone know if these sprays are any good?

Karen not sure about these ones, but I've heard that Feliway spray is meant to help. I use it to keep Lexy calm during noisy days with the neighbours but it is also meant to reduce scratching etc.

Have never tried that particular one but I have tried one, can't remember the name but it was something like 'Pet behave', it's in a blue bottle from Pets at Home.  I used it when Tiggy took to scratching the door mat in the old house, it definitely worked as she stopped scratching.

Thought I'd posted about it on here but can't find the post so maybe not, did come across this post which should help though... http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php?topic=2908.0

Yep, get the one Helen recommends! It's the only one I've found works with my mob!

That looks a bit different to the one I have, just dug it out from under the sink and it's made by Sinclair.  It has a pink 'friends' logo on the top of the bottle and it's called 'Pet Behave Training Spray'.  It's the same shape and size of bottle though.

Actually, having just read the bumph on the back of my bottle and the bumph on the ebay listing the wording is identical so maybe the manufacturer has changed or something, I've had mine ages so quite possible.  Whatever the case hope it works!

Am glad you bought it up as I didn't realise I still had it, am going to spray some on the top shelf in the kitchen and see if it stops Riley from going up there!

I think they have changed the packaging. When I bought mine (on someones recommendation about two years ago - possibly on CatChat!) it was in a dark blue bottle.

It must have been CC then as I'm sure it was you who I told about it, I wasn't going mad after all!
